DISASSEMBLING PROCEDURE

Plug out the charger and pull out the memory
card if connected as a preliminary step.
Make sure that the device is turned off as a precaution.
Wedge the plastic opening tool between the front and back cover on every side
as shown on the photos.
Slide the plastic opening tool back and forth to make sure that the back cover
is disconnected.
Remove the back cover.

Remove the protective copper sticker and all
duct tapes fixed on the device.
Locate the two ribbon cables attached to the motherboard. Using tweezers,
remove the cables away from their sliders.
Use the tweezers accurately as shown on the images, and apply a minimum force
to remove the cables to prevent any damage.

Unscrew four #00 Philips 2 mm screws holding
the battery tray in place.
All screws removed from the device in this guide and accompanying guides are
the same, so continue to use the #00 Philips head screwdriver.

Locate the battery cable attached to the
motherboard. Remove the cable gently using tweezers, the same way applied
before for the ribbon cables.

Now, you are able to remove the battery from the device. You can then separate
the metal frame located at the back of the battery by gently wedging the
plastic open tool in between the two parts, and slide it back and forth until
the metal frame is removed.
When you separate the battery from the metal frame, be sure to hold it tight on
the center by one hand, since the whole battery consists of two smaller
batteries joined together.

There are seven screws holding the speakers
in place. In the previous steps, you removed four of them, highlighted in red.
All that's left to do now is to remove the remaining three screws which are
highlighted in orange using philips #00 screwdriver.

The size of all screws are 2mm.

Locate the two speakers cables connected to
motherboard. Unplug these cables from their sliders gently by using tweezers.

There are two speakers located on the device at different
locations. It is easy to identify them with their black cover. Fortunately, the
same replacement procedures applies for both parts. This step includes removing
one speaker plug only, since the other cable is identical, you can perform the
same procedures as well.

Now, the speakers should be loose and easy to
remove. You can gently use your hands to take them off.

From here you can set the speakers aside and replace them with new ones that
are functioning properly.

There should be a total of 12 screws removed
from the device, 7 of which have already been removed in the process of taking
out the battery and the speakers. The remaining screws are highlighted in blue.

Carefully disconnect the cord that connects
the on/off button to the motherboard

Peel back the electrical tape holding the connections of the motherboard down
to the frame of the device.
